Maia Mainstream Song Contest

Maia Mainstream Song Contest, abbreviated to MMSC is a spin-off contest based off of Maia Song Contest, themed around sending mainstream entries that are often times rejected from the real contest. It will be hosted in Niva Banka, Izola, in the NB Hippodrome.

Rules
IZT revealed the rules surrounding the spin-off on August 17th, 2017. A maximum number of 25 countries will be put in place, preventing a Semi-Final from being held.

To be able to compete, you need to have participated at least in one Maia Song Contest edition, or one if its spin-offs.

The song must respect the following rules:
 * Participants are encouraged to send mainstream or popular music, with its popularity being measured by its charts, its views on YouTube or its use in contests outside of the Maia Song Contest (such as those on OVSC.)
 * Songs that are not deemed mainstream enough may be rejected.
 * All songs that have been rejected from the Maia Song Contest on the premise of it being too mainstream are allowed to participate in the contest.
 * Participants can vote based on how much they like each entry, how mainstream they think they entry is, or a combination of both.
 * The song can be between 2 to 6 minutes.
 * The song can not have participated in the Maia Song Contest or any of its spin-offs.
 * The song can not have participated in the Eurovision Song Contest or Turkvizyon.
